DENSÍSIMO Y MUCHÍSIMO TEXTO. Pero en plan bien. Europa "occidental" sáfica: la compilación. Gracias, gracias, gracias.

sapphism + creative nonfiction = perfection

i really liked the premise and expected to enjoy it a lot. reading it tho felt a bit exhausting as schwartz constantly switches between different women and their stories. i think fragmentary novels aren't really for me and someone who has a better attention span might enjoy it a lot more

Oh to be a lesbian artist in a messy polycule with other lesbian artists in 1920s Paris 

I really enjoyed the interconnectedness of all the lives in this book, although at times it was quite hard to follow. I have a feeling this book is one that needs a couple of rereads before one fully “gets it”.
